Ildfrost has released two albums on Swedish dark ambient label Cold Meat Industy, and is now signed to the Polish label Fluttering Dragon Records.
Ildfrost was one of the first genuinly dark-ambient musical projects in scandinavia, and inhabits a special voice in todays jungle of dark-industrial-symphonic-ambient bands.
Over the years Ildfrost has been showcasing great lyrical artistery; transmorging and intriguing, with a musical discipline to match.

I like things that are on the edge between beauty and boredom, between the mezmerizing and the annoying.
Things that are unsetteling, moving and changing: in and out of known form.
Ildfrosts first two albums is based around improvisation and anti-structure.; the idea beeing that with tempo comes metrication, with metrication comes metric structure, with metric structure comes a kind of fixed form. And with fixed form you need themes.
The point was to make the improvisation unconvinsing; programming obvious errors, introducing a disturbing element.

Ildfrosts third release "You'll never sparkle in hell" introduces a more metric structure, still avoiding the obvious, but focusing on a stern repetition. This is imperative to the lyrical backdrop of the album. "You'll never sparkle in hell" is sometimes harsh, but never unfriendly, its not up-beat but its not pitch black either. The music is hovering in shimmering layers like a heat haze above a freshly tarmacked road, suddenly strinking an uncommonly beautiful phantom chord when a heavily processed voice, timestretched and pitcshifted into a shape beyond human utterance, accidently makes contact with a low-end drone coming the other way. There are pounding beats meeting classical choirs, mystical voices in a clash with synth drones, beautiful string chords running with electrobeats. Its an assemblage of silent sounds, beautiful melodies and heavy beats
surrounded by beauty and artistery you will more feel than see.

"You'll never....." has an atmosphere between a slaugtherhouse, a geaveyard and a gentlemens nigthclub.
